It’s a stupid movie about stupid people who make stupid decisions, and set in a land ruled by stupid ideas.

Actually, it’s a well done (long) movie
about people who suffer as much from their
foolish choices as they do from the
political turmoil in Russia during the multiple revolutions of the time.
The immorality depicted as love ruined the romance for me,
and the ridiculous philosophies of the Red, White, and Bolshevik parties
had me throwing up my hands and saying, “No wonder all the Russians have been starving.”
Can you imagine having your house and property taken, by which ever
party happened to be in charge at the moment, “for the people.”
As Zhivago’s father said, “Well, I’m one of the people!!”

Patriotism is very strong in my heart this 4th of July.
I suppose in the end, it was worth finishing the movie just for the feeling of gratefulness that now
fills me.

  1. I sort of liked Dr.Zhivago…more for the look of it than anything…I like most everything the guy who directed it did for that reason, especially Lawrence of Arabia.
    Nice photo, by the way. Sort of artsy.

  2. You are correct…I do need a church where the Bible is being taught…the next one I plan to…the next one I plan to visit has a great reputation for teaching the Bible, but is also really big which I find sometimes to be impersonal. That is an area of prayer for me.
